Burger Patties

Bun & Toppings

Garlic Fries

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide into two equal portions and form into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of American cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Bun Assembly

  1. 3

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread dijonnaise on the bottom bun, place one patty on top, add pickles and onions, then place the second patty on top. Finish with the top bun.

Garlic Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Cut russet potatoes into thin fries and soak in water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  2. 6

    Cook the Fries

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the fries in olive oil, garlic, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
